Soho is one of the busiest neighborhoods in London, the capital of England. It has been dealing with an unusual problem. The strong smell of urine started bothering residents. So, a project found a way to penalize people who pee on the streets.

It is an “anti-pee paint”. The substance was developed to repel urine right when it touches a wall or the floor and splatter “back” the person who is peeing on the street. Because it is clear, it is impossible to know where the paint has been applied.

The measure has already been implemented in other countries. It started being used in Soho at the end of 2022. Aicha Less, a local councilor, hopes that the new strategy will stop the peeing in the streets.
